Blackpool Park Golf Club - Stanley Park Course

Got to the club house and was told that half the course is too wet. I was offered to play the front part twice, which I tried. The ground was waterlogged, and the play was really slow (probably because of the other side being closed). I have played this course over 10 times and it is usually great. I think the problem is that half the course is getting sold off to make way for some adrenaline world, which loses its heritage of being a good course. I was told a while ago that a lot of the members were voting Tory in the last election, as they (tories) will stop it from closing. Let’s be honest, the members deserve to lose it for voting Tory. Never trust a Tory and don’t be ignoramus.

I am a relatively new player to golf. I have only played around 15 full rounds of golf and use an app for an unofficial HC (22) which I honour. I have played here previously on a number of occasions, with fiends, and like today on my own. Today was espically memorable as a nice chap was sitting on the veranda of the 18th hole, I hit a good shot and as I approached we started chatting and he gave me lots of good advice which as a new player felt really settling and welcoming. After my round I had a pint In the clubhouse with a warm welcome and friendly staff. Today has made me want to join the GC next season hoping all’s well to do so. Thanks mr stone . Craig .

Firstly in mitigation I need to point out that as we were slightly late for our tee time we went straight out without collecting our scorecards.

Now then, on leaving the 14th green we were accosted by a male about 60 all in black with a southern accent whose initial comment was get off the effing course. Whilst I was attempting to show him my reservation with golfnow he was throwing a diatribe at my friend in a completely threatening and hostile manner.

Eventually he had to admit he was wrong and as he trundled away he called back to my friend and said, qoute"im gonna have you!"

UNBELIEVABLE!!

This guy should under no circumstances be involved with the public. We will never play there again, and we will encourage others to follow us upto Staining golf course where a pleasant atmosphere is always guaranteed.

Booked course for the 1st time and was pleasantly surprised. Thoroughly enjoyed the golf and the weather was good.

Second time of playing this course and I loved every minute of it. Lovely wide fairways and the course was in great condition for a municipal can’t wait to play again.

Good test of golf Dr Mckenzie course, pity it my soon become a 9 holer

I have played Stanley Park for over 30 years on and off, being a junior member to a full member and it was the course was in the best condition I have ever seen it, it was a joy to play.

Lovely course to play when dry, in pretty good condition considering that it’s council run,

Most enjoyable day in Blackpool friendly staff brilliant food and really enjoyed the course. Thanks

Nice clean corse shame it will be going so get there sooner rather than later

Really enjoyed our day it’s a shame they’re losing 9 holes soon

A few more signs to next tee would have been good for newbies. We played on a competition day so pins were well guarded members were very friendly even though we were playing in between their comp. Greens were a bit spongey and burnt as we hadn’t had any rain for weeks altogether a great day

Thanks
